I have been waiting to share this with you for some time, but now it's official: I have signed a contract with Podshow. To paraphrase Tom Hanks in "That Thing You Do", I have joined the Podshow galaxy of stars. I am now a professional podcaster.
Who the heck is Podshow, you ask? Here's a snippet from their website:
Podshow was created out of total frustration with current audio programming. The same songs, the same messaging, the same programming, everywhere, all the time, with no exceptions...
In essence, Podshow matches up podcasters with advertisers. They approach podcasters who they feel might be a good match for their clients. They also offer free hosting to all podcasters, so if you go to the site, you will see thousands of shows. In reality, they have only signed about 150 people to actual ad contracts.
As I said before, someone was paying attention. Thank you to all of you who have offered encouragment, praise and criticism during the past 21 months I have been podcasting. I would also like to thank the lovely and wonderful Kelli, who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I think the future will be bright.
